In Your Pocket: A Scanner That Knows All

Meet SCiO: a pocket-size sensor that can scan just about anything and have its chemical makeup sent
to your smartphone, available for preorder now and shipping in October.

Let’s acknowledge that this is some crazy, next-level sh*t. Okay, yes—on the outset, it looks like an
unassuming, tiny machine... that can read any object with its optical sensor and built-in spectrometer to
deliver every shred of available information to your awaiting smartphone.

No big deal.

You can probably imagine that this has more than a few uses. Let’s put it to work on...

1) Food. All the food.
Point it at an apple. An avocado. That Unexpected Cheddar from Trader Joe’s. Doesn’t matter. It’ll
give you all of the nutritional facts and let you know if it’s reached peak ripeness. Nothing worse than
nonpeak cheddar.
